How to Apply

If you are applying for a distance education graduate program, and reside outside of Texas, please click here to request verification that MSU is approved to deliver distance education for your desired major in your state.

Take the GRE (gre.org) or GMAT (mba.com) and request that scores be sent to the MSU Graduate Admissions Office. International students must also take the TOEFL and IELTS, which test proficiency of the English language. Please allow at least 1 month for official scores to be received by the Graduate School.

Request official transcripts from each institution attended other than MSU. Transcripts should be sent directly to the MSU Graduate Admissions Office at 3410 Taft Blvd; Wichita Falls, TX 76308. Transcripts also may be sent electronically by the institution for expedited receipt.

Meet with the graduate coordinator of your intended major for program specific requirements and application information. Some departments may require a separate departmental application.

Upon receipt of your application, we will contact you with your Mustang ID and PIN to be used to check the status of your application online.

Once your application file is complete with all required test scores and transcripts, a review will be sent to the graduate coordinator for consideration. The Graduate Dean reviews all admission decisions and sends formal notification to each student.
